Weekly Track Workouts

I will be doing a weekly track workout for the remainder of the season that I encourage everyone to attend. This will be a great chance to really get in shape as we lead up to states. They will all be held at the track at CNU so come out in some good tennis shoes ready to run, bring something to drink as well. I would also bring some cleats we may be able to mix in some drills or if we get numbers we can probably throw together a scrimmage or some mini afterwards. The first one will be this Saturday April 2, 2011 at 11am.

Practice 3-23 & 3-24

I know attendance has been really weak lately so do this the best you can, put JV with Varsity if needed for numbers, teach them endzone, HO stack, etc as needed, if we don't get better attendance we will be needing them for tournaments.

We are running the same scrimmages both days, we need to focus on setting up endzone and converting opportunities and on not giving up breaks, stress those things in practice.

Jersey update

We initially went with Rep Ultimate for our Jerseys who was offering an amazing deal of white and dark jersey, shorts, and a trucker hat for $50, and because we wanted to try and support a smaller newer ultimate company. They assured us they would be able to get the varsity gear done by our first tournament. The jerseys were not delivered on time for the first tournament so Rep said they would throw in a free t-shirt as an apology for being late. A few days later Rep let us know that the jerseys had shipped but there was an issue and instead of the dark jersey being purple they were sending maroon ones, some sort of error with their distributor. They said the maroons were free and that they would be printing a set of purples and getting them out ASAP, so we would be ending up with 3 jerseys. When the jerseys arrived the numbers on the backs were printed wrong and a lot of the screenprint quality was low. After some thought and discussion we decided the best course of action was to get a refund and cut ties with Rep.

The next 2 days were spent talking to numerous other ultimate companies and getting them mockups of the jerseys so we could get price quotes. After discussions with 4 other companies we got the best price we could, for the closest comparable product to the original, we ended up with Spin Ultimate. Our order has been placed and is being rushed to ensure its arrival before YHB Invite so Varsity will have a new set of white jersey, purple jersey, and shorts for the tournament.

We asked JV and Girls to have paid and given sizes by Thursday March 17 so that we can complete our list and send payment to Spin for their gear early next week. Without rushing these orders we should be looking at a 3-4 week turnaround.

That completes the jersey saga of the past couple weeks, and gets everyone up to date with what to expect. Moral of the story, if something seems to good to be true it probably is.

YHB Invite Information #4

Coach Richard will be handing out waivers on Monday that have to be completed in order for you to play in the tournament. If you can not make practice on Monday you can get a waiver from Coach Chappell in his room on Tuesday. These are very important and need to be turned in to Coach Chappell by Friday, if you don't have a completed waiver you will not be going to Arlington.

YHB Invite Information #2

We will be leaving for Arlington at 7am from the parking lot at Woodside, anyone not there and ready to go will be left. Everyone needs to be there no later than 6:45 so we can get loaded up and get on the road.

The school has decided that we are no longer allowed to use 15 passenger vans for transporting the teams, so we will now be using 12 passenger vans. This obviously presents a problem since we have to make up at least 6 seats that we once had. Any parents planning on coming to Arlington with us that would be willing to take extra players with them please email and let us know, (woodsidehs.ultimate@gmail.com or Gregory.Chappell@nn.k12.va.us) we need at least 6 seats and probably more like 10-12 depending on the amount of girls planning on attending.

March 12-13

Woodside teams, due to lack of interest we will not be having a multi-team High School tournament this weekend March 12-13. We will be playing some ultimate though. We will be combining all Varsity, JV, and Ladies together and forming 3 or 4 teams and playing our own round robin tournament on Sunday March 13. There will be a prize for the winning teams and lunch for everyone at the end. We will be playing at Nike Park in Carrollton, VA where the tournament was supposed to be held. We will be starting at 10:30 so everyone should be out no later than 10 in order to warmup, and so we can split up teams. Sorry that we were not able to pull together a complete tournament as we would have liked but this will be a great way for everyone to play some games and get some good experience.

This does not affect the College Womens tournament in any way.

Woodside Invite - College Edition

Congratulations to Penn State Spank for winning Woodside Invite College Edition this weekend. They played a great tournament dominating the competition throughout the weekend to secure the Championship. We look forward to their return next year to defend the title.
